This diet will prepare you for the new way you will be eating after weight loss surgery.

You will return to a “normal diet”, or pre-surgery diet following several food phases during the weight loss phases. The “normal” part is where the change must takes place, “normal” is not returning to our old lifestyle diet.

We have to learn what “normal” or a healthy diet looks like, including smaller portions, learning a new way of preparing foods, learning to be mindful of our food intake as well as the emotional aspects, including why we are tempted to get off track and return to our old habits.

Changing eating habits takes time and effort. You will find that the more you “practice” this eating style before surgery the easier it will be to resume once your are faced with maintaining after your desired weight is achieved.

Information and helps on returning to “normal” is what this blog is all about. You’ll get the hang of it in no time. The key to weight loss and maintenance is just as much about “committing” to what you know, as much as it is about what you know.

To read more on returning to “normal” search “portion distortion” “the normal setting” and related topics in the search box on the left. Search also under the categories section in “food facts” and “food forks”.
